Picture
"In Spirit"
oil painting - 36"X 36"
11/1997.

This painting is about Freedom of the Spirit. The nature of our Spirit is to be free, unfettered by material existence. Placed into Matter, we can resist, or be overcome by the weight of Life, lulled into a stupor by all the temptations we meet in our daily lives, or we can use these bodies to express our Souls, or do work that matters to our Hearts, to serve and rejoice and heal. Life really is a blessing, though that may be hard to see , especially in today's times. The Artist paints, the Dancer dances. What do you do?
